Are you feeling unseen, disconnected, or like something is quietly sabotaging your marriage?

If you’ve ever felt like your marriage is being pulled apart by things you can’t quite name—like unmet expectations, emotional distance, or growing resentment—this episode is for you. Rick and Tiffany Bulman join us to unpack the real things that mess with marriages: unspoken rules, hidden competition, non-sexual mistresses, and more. With raw honesty, they share how their relationship was nearly destroyed by betrayal and pain—but also how God met them in the wreckage and led them toward redemption and renewed connection. Their story will give you language for what’s hurting, and hope that healing is possible.
